Are you sure you have already searched for the same problem?

Some people open new issues but they didn't search for something similar or for the same issue. Please, search for it using the GitHub issue search box or on the official inappwebview.dev website, or, also, using Google, StackOverflow, etc. before posting a new one. You may already find an answer to your problem!

If this is really a new issue, then thank you for raising it. I will investigate it and get back to you as soon as possible. Please, make sure you have given me as much context as possible! Also, if you didn't already, post a code example that can replicate this issue.

In the meantime, you can already search for some possible solutions online! Because this plugin uses native WebView, you can search online for the same issue adding android WebView [MY ERROR HERE] or ios WKWebView [MY ERROR HERE] keywords.

Following these steps can save you, me, and other people a lot of time, thanks!

I use this code when my user logout.
I keep some cookies and delete the others.

On Android session cookies are maybe your issue.

  /// Delete all cookies except the ones that are required for the webview to works
  /// Then clear cache.
  Future<void> clearSessionCookies() async {
    final CookieManager cookieManager = CookieManager.instance();

    final List<Cookie> cookies = await cookieManager.getCookies(
      url: WebUri(config.webviewUrl),
    );

    for (final Cookie cookie in cookies) {
      if (!<String>[
        WEB_VIEW_COOKIE_CONSENTS,
        WEB_VIEW_COOKIE_REGION_SUFFIX,
      ].contains(cookie.name)) {
        await cookieManager.deleteCookie(
          url: WebUri(config.webviewUrl),
          domain: cookie.domain,
          name: cookie.name,
          path: cookie.path ?? WEB_VIEW_COOKIES_DEFAULT_PATH,
        );
      }
    }
    if (Platform.isAndroid) await cookieManager.removeSessionCookies();
    await InAppWebViewController.clearAllCache();
  }
}

Same for me ! First time it's clear cache, but second time CTA clear cache doesn't work and cache is not refreshed.

    CookieManager cookieManager = CookieManager.instance();
    await cookieManager.removeSessionCookies();
    await cookieManager.deleteAllCookies();
    await InAppWebViewController.clearAllCache();

with same webview URL called.

version 5 and version 6 have different implementations.
The old one was removing more data then it should be.

On native side, the old implementation was:

flutter_inappwebview/android/src/main/java/com/pichillilorenzo/flutter_inappwebview/in_app_webview/InAppWebView.java

Lines 576 to 581 in 9447770

	public void clearAllCache() {
	clearCache(true);
	clearCookies();
	clearFormData();
	WebStorage.getInstance().deleteAllData();
	}

and now it's only clearCache, because, as the method name says, it should clear just the cache and not other things.

For cookies and web storage data, use the corresponding service: Cookie Manager and Web Storage Manager
